After winning several prizes for his paintings, he embarked for Europe, where he spent six months traveling, painting, and studying lithography in Paris. During the 1930s he made numerous trips to Mexico and Hawaii. He was an artist-correspondent for Life magazine during World War II, assigned to the China-Burma-India front. He developed a deep affection for the people of India and sympathy for their way of life and vowed that some day he would return” said the museum curator Jane Smith.
